Lightbridge on Monday announced a pact with Atomic Energy of Canada Ltd. to carry out a key test for the McLean-based company's nuclear fuel technology.
The initial agreement with Atomic Energy of Canada (AECL) entails fabricating samples of the fuel and irradiating them in a research reactor. The work represents "the most critical phase of fuel testing and demonstration" prior to testing in a commercial reactor.
Work at AECL's Chalk River, Ontario, facility is slated to begin later this year.
